Wedding dresses.... my regrets, the ONE, and how to sell the rest?

So, long story short I went dress shopping with my mother and BM. I admittedly felt that day for the first time excited about the wedding. I was wrapped up in that and the 20% off buy today and purchased two dresses one for the ceremony (ball gown pictured) and one for the reception ( dress with ruffles on the bottom). They are both beautiful dresses but as soon as I swiped my card I knew i made a bad decision. I know have found the "one" ( dress with high neck and simple belt) this is the one I will be wearing.

My question is... Does anyone know where I can sell the other two once they come in.

*with the estimated alterations I will be within my budget with the new dress without selling the others but there is no reason fro me to keep them*

    Which dress is which? They are all so beautiful! And I would try a local consignment shop or pre-owned wedding dresses.com

    Tradesy.com, preownedweddingdresses.com, or even the WW or local FB page.

    No matter what you do. It's going to take time to sell. I've been trying to sell my regret dress for about 2-3 months, with few/no bites!

    You can try Facebook, PreownedWeddingDresses, Tradesy, Poshmark, etc etc. Also check out consignment shops in your area, but know that they'll take 50% or more off the selling price... and most/all in my area at least set the price themselves, so that could potentially be a huge loss and not worth the effort.

    Www.stillwhite.com I have used that site with success. Make sure to mention that the gowns are new, unworn and unaltered (as long as that is true). And also be prepared for a loss. Even though the dresses are technically new, you will still get offers for as low as half the cost that you paid.

    Thank you all! the last picture is the one that I am buying today to wear. The other two were my previous ones (ball gown for the ceremony, and ruffles for the reception)

    Wow, they are all very different styles. I'm sure the one you are going with will be beautiful. I second trying a local wedding Facebook group. I see a ton for sale in the group I'm in (not sure how well it works though).

    I bought a dress and I'm wearing my mother's dress for the reception. After I'll sell my dress I walked down the aisle in and keep my mother's . Maybe you can wear both?
